(Episode 74)
Here, let me pour you one.
It's okay. Just eat your food.
Didn't you drink quite a bit yesterday too?
Him Chan is here. You shouldn't drink anymore.
Aren't you eating?
What?
Oh.
I'm not hungry.
I have to go back to the office.
I should get going.
I should get going too.
All right.
I'll see you at home.
Bye.
Is something up with Sung Wook?
You thought he seemed upset too, right?
You too?
Yes.
Could it be because of what happened earlier in the day?
Did something happen at work?
I have to take care of something urgently.
Then I'll go with you.
No, you should go home.
Sung Wook!
No way.
It can't be.
There's no way Seung Ju has done such a thing.
There's absolutely no way.
I'm home.
I thought you went out for dinner with Sung Wook.
How come you came home by yourself? Where is Sung Wook?
Oh, he said he had to take care of an urgent matter at work.
He rushed back to the office.
An urgent matter at work?
Yes.
All right. Go upstairs and get some rest.
Okay.
Did they get into a fight?
She said he had to take care of an urgent matter at work.
All of a sudden? I don't buy it.
It sounds like an excuse.
(Seung Ju)
The person you have reached is unavailable.
Please leave a message after the tone.
I didn't even get to touch upon what I wanted to talk about today.
We'll talk about it next time.
Him Chan, I wanted to tell you something important today but couldn't.
I'll tell you next time.
Okay, Mr. Kang.
What? Have you lost your mind?
I get that you're angry,
but how could you say such a thing at their office?
What if you get sued?
What?
I can get sued for something like that?
Of course, why not?
For defamation.
Really?
Yes, really.
So please try to tame your temper.
Okay?
We're home.
Hi!
Him Chan, did you have a good dinner with Mr. Kang?
Yes.
Was everything okay at work?
People talked about it, but nothing happened after that.
Thank goodness.
So don't do that again, Auntie Myung Sook.
Okay?
I certainly can't do it again.
Do you know how worried I've been all day?
Go upstairs and get some rest.
Okay, you too.
All right.
(Hyena Hair Salon)
Where are you now?
The care home.
You're still there?
Yes, I'm leaving now. Father just fell asleep.
What about dinner? Have you eaten?
I'll eat when I get home.
Just come to my place. I'll fix you dinner.
Hey, it's okay. You must be tired too.
I'm fine. Just come over now, okay?
All right.
Okay.
My gosh, it looks delicious.
Dig in. You too, Hye Na.
- Thanks. - No problem.
What?
It's nothing.
So? How's my father doing?
He has lost so much weight.
I almost couldn't recognize him at first.
But Grandpa must've been so happy to see you.
Yes, of course.
His eyes welled up with tears when he saw me.
I ended up bursting into tears too.
So? Was he comfortable with you being there?
At first, he didn't even let me help him.
Why not?
Because he felt bad. That's probably why.
Then how did you persuade him?
I told him to think of me as his son.
I said I wanted to at least help him...
to make up for never being a good husband to you.
After I said that,
he finally opened up to me.
Ja Young.
Mom seems touched by what you said.
You're the best, Dad.
Hey.
Did you tell Sung Wook?
What do you mean?
Tell him what?
You know what I'm talking about.
You really didn't tell him?
I did not. I couldn't.
- Are we good now? - Then do you know...
why Sung Wook is being like that?
How would I know?
Why don't you just tell him the truth?
It's still not too late.
Mind your own business. I'll decide what to do.
Sung Wook.
When did you get home?
I got home very late.
Where are you going so early?
I have a breakfast meeting.
Why didn't you wake me up?
Don't worry.
You should go back to sleep.
See you later.
Sung Wook.
(Executive Director Kang Sung Wook)
Jung Ho, are you heading out now?
- Yes. - Have a good day.
You didn't forget that the blind date is at 3 p.m. today, right?
Do I really have to do it?
What? You can't back out now.
I even bought you new clothes and shoes for the blind date.
Okay, fine. Don't worry. I'll see you later.
You saw his photo. He's totally your type.
You'd better not say you want to marry him tomorrow.
Okay?
- Thank you. Have a good day. - Thank you.
(Hana Dumplings)
Why are you sighing so deeply?
Why can't you just tell her not to go on the blind date?
It's not like that. Don't jump to conclusions.
Stop denying it.
Gosh, I can't stand this.
How's Director Kang?
Something's definitely up with him.
He got home very late...
and left early in the morning, saying he had a breakfast meeting.
Really?
Even yesterday.
I think he came to the restaurant on purpose.
On purpose? Why?
He must've known we were there.
He came because he knew we were there?
Then do you think he joined us on purpose?
Yes.
Normally, he never does stuff like that.
Then by any chance,
could he have found out about Him Chan?
I doubt it.
We didn't say anything, nor did Seung Ju.
So how would he know?
Then why did he ask such a question?
What?
What did he ask you?
He called me to his office yesterday because of my aunt.
But he asked me if I knew anything about Him Chan's birth mother.
What? Really?
Yes.
It's Mother.
How did it go? Is Him Chan there now?
Hello?
Yes. Do I know you?
What are you doing right now?
Auntie Myung Sook.
Hey, Dong Hee.
What are you doing here?
Is she your aunt, Ms. Seo?
Yes.
Could you please take out cabbage from one of the dishes?
My child is allergic to cabbage.
Is this a private detective agency?
I need you to get me something.
Who's here at this hour?
- Who is it? - I'm here to check your gas meter.
Oh, I see.
Come in.
Thank you. Hello.
It's done.
All good, right?
Yes, it's all good.
May I use your bathroom?
Sure.
Thank you.
Why is Sung Wook acting like this suddenly?
If Cha Yeol didn't tell him,
there's no way he knows that I'm Him Chan's biological mother.
It's me, Sung Wook.
How about we have lunch together?
Lunch?
I'm sorry.
I've got plans.
Really?
Okay, that's fine.
Enjoy your lunch.
All right.
Let's go for lunch.
- Okay. - Sure.
Ms. Baek. You're coming with us, right?
Yes, sure.
- Let's go. - All right.
What shall we eat?
- Well... - How about kongguksu?
This came for you, sir.
Thank you.
Sung Wook.
Seung Ju, I thought you stepped out for lunch.
I did, but I came back because I didn't feel like eating.
What about you?
You said you had plans for lunch. Why are you here?
You wanted to have lunch with me, so I felt bad.
I wanted to have lunch with you if you were still here.
But you weren't here, so I was about to leave.
Really?
Then let's go for lunch together.
Sure, let's do that.
We could've gone to a restaurant.
This is nice, just the two of us.
Let's eat.
Okay.
So? Did your breakfast meeting go well?
It went pretty well.
By the way, are you upset with me?
Am I upset with you?
Why do you ask?
I was just curious.
You suddenly seem a little cold to me.
Are you sure you're not upset with me?
Tell me if I did something to upset you.
If I've made a mistake, I want to fix it.
What about you?
Do you have anything to tell me?
Anything to tell you? Like what?
If I ever hurt your feelings or if there's anything...
you couldn't tell me in the past.
Anyway,
is there anything you want to tell me?
Why don't you just tell him the truth?
It's still not too late.
What is it?
Is there something?
No, of course not.
Nothing at all.
This is nice.
I like having lunch with you outside like this.
It's quite romantic.
(Executive Director Kang Sung Wook)
Is this the genetic testing laboratory?
I'd like to put in a request for a maternity DNA test.
How long will it take?
(Hana Dumplings)
She must be meeting the guy by now.
Goodness. Where did Hye Ran go?
Hello, Mr. Jang.
What? Jung Eun.
What are you doing here at this hour?
Why? Am I not allowed to come here at this time of day?
It's not that.
Aren't you supposed to be on your blind date now?
I really don't want to go on this blind date.
Hello?
What's up, Hye Ran? You never call me first.
That's not important now.
You really can't do this.
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
What did I do?
Do you even care to know how Hyun Seok is doing now?
He's devastated because of you.
Mr. Jang? Why?
What do you think?
Because of your blind date, obviously.
So? Are you really going to meet that guy today?
What? So?
You blew him off and came here instead?
What can I do?
She said you were utterly devastated.
But still.
It's not nice to stand someone up.
Don't worry. I sent someone else to fill in.
What?
You sent someone else in your place?
Who?
Excuse me.
Are you Mr. Jin Seung Nam?
Yes, I'm Jin Seung Nam.
Are you Ms. Bang Hye Ran?
Yes, I'm Bang Hye Ran.
Please take a seat.
Sure.
Jung Eun told you everything, right?
Yes, she did.
- I heard you still wanted to meet me. - Yes.
I don't care whether you're divorced or have never been married before.
I'm fine with dating an older woman.
My gosh, you're very cool.
You look much prettier in person than in your photos.
I know. I'm not really photogenic.
When people meet me in person,
their jaws drop because I look much better in real life.
Yes, clearly.
The same goes for you.
You look more handsome in person. Much more handsome.
Right? I hear that often.
Let's order first.
Excuse me.
(Hana Dumplings)
So? What should I do now?
What do you mean?
Are you really going to keep playing dumb?
This isn't easy for me either.
Fine. I can't take this anymore.
I'm giving up on you.
Wait!
Are you sure you want to do this, Jung Eun?
Am I really good enough for you?
Yes, I am sure.
Of course, you're more than good enough for me.
So you're sure you won't regret this decision, right?
Why would I regret it?
Okay, good.
Then let's see where this takes us.
Really? Are you sure, Mr. Jang?
Yes.
If Director Kang finds out about Ms. Baek's secret,
he'd have such a hard time.
I can't even imagine how painful it'd be for him.
That's what makes me feel angrier toward her.
I feel like she's hurting others for her own happiness.
She didn't know that such a choice couldn't make her happy in the end.
Right, that's probably why she made such a decision.
I must say, I have so much respect for you.
Why?
You were so young, but you still decided to raise Him Chan yourself.
It's truly admirable.
It was the best decision I've ever made.
And the best decision I've ever made...
was to let myself love you and Him Chan.
Seung Ju.
I really hope I'm wrong.
I'm praying desperately.
(Bravo, My Life)
I'm sorry. I didn't go on the blind date yesterday.
There's someone I like.
What? What do you mean Him Chan's toothbrush is gone?
"New Human Bio"?
Director Kang left early today.
Don't touch me!
Nothing's up with Sung Wook, Mother.
Are you sure nothing is going on?
